About the Area — Ocean Reef Club, Key Largo, Florida
Ocean Reef Club® is a private sanctuary of luxury, community, and timeless beauty on the northernmost tip of Key Largo, in the Florida Keys. Nestled across 2,500 lush tropical acres, this exclusive member-owned enclave is surrounded by water on three sides, with a single gated road as its land entrance. It offers a lifestyle where privacy, natural wonder, and elevated amenities are seamlessly intertwined.
Location & Access
Though secluded, Ocean Reef is exceedingly well connected. It’s about an hour south of Miami International Airport and about 1.5 hours from Fort Lauderdale’s airports. On-site, the community also has its own private airport with a lighted runway (4,400-4,456 feet), allowing Members and guests to arrive in comfort and style. Water access is equally exceptional—its 175-slip marina with floating docks is a centerpiece, offering direct access to world-class boating, fishing (reef, flats, deep-sea), and diving. The surrounding coral reef and marine environment make it possible to snorkel or scuba right from the water’s edge.
Community & Lifestyle
Ocean Reef isn’t just a club—it’s a long-standing community where generations have built homes, raised children, and formed lifelong friendships. With around 1,700 waterfront estates, private homes, luxury condominiums, and boat slips, the real-estate options range from oceanfront lots to deeply secluded properties, unified by high build standards and a shared value for privacy and nature. Life here moves at a rhythm defined by the water, the sky, and community. Mornings may begin with paddle boarding, snorkeling, or a round of golf; afternoons might include the spa, lunch with views of the marina, walks through mangroves, or exploring the nature center; evenings often bring fine dining, cultural events, or quiet moments by the water under Key Largo’s glowing skies. The club offers a full calendar of social, cultural, and recreational programming for all ages.
